started TO his dinner, and was crossing
the switch leading to Lutcher &

track his attention was suddenly d.
rected to little girl who had lost her
bonnet. He stopped to show her how
to get it, wholly unconscious of dan
ger, when the engine ran upon him
crushing and mangling him in a hor-
rible manner. The shock to his family
is beyond description, and the entire
community is in mourning over the
sad calamity All the physicians in

impossible for him to live.''
